Word_ Extra TAB when updating a table of contents

I have a document which has a table of contents based on Heading 2 only.

This is nicely aligned

If I click OK to the update box "Word" inserts an additional tab into the table of contents space which messes with the format ~ pushes each line over the edge

If I manually delete the additional tab the alignment of the ToC reverts to the original layout.

The tab is NOT in the style {Heading 2]
I have scrolled through the document. I do not have a tab in that position within the document!

How do I tell Word not to add this tab when I update the ToC?

I have used PowerPoint occassionally. I used it a little more often when they had a better org chart tool than the very basic one included with 2003 (better off using Visio).

Ove the years I have collected quite a number of "tips" I am willing to share.

"An eye-catching animation on a PowerPoint slide is to have the text "type in" as though it were being typed on a typewriter. PowerPoint even provides the typewriter sound for you!

To check this out, open a blank slide and click the Text Box button in the Drawing toolbar (its icon looks like a printed sheet with a large A on its upper-left-hand corner). Add some text to the Text Box. Next, right-click the Text Box and choose Custom Animation.

When the Custom Animation dialog box opens, click the arrow at the right side of the Introduce Text list box and select
By Letter. Now, click the top list box under "Entry animation and sound" and select Appear from the list. Expand the second list box and select Typewriter as your sound."

How you ask
In Outlook, select Tools > Forms > Design a Form. From the list select 'contacts'. Redesign to your heart's content. Be sure you are happy with your changes before you save.
If the 'Field chooser' pop up is not on screen, click 'Form' > 'field chooser' and you will see an option 'New'. This will create new fields for you. Of course you could just modify the existing labels and problem solved.
Give it a go using the help options built in to Office.

As a rule, calculated fields in a table are more trouble than they're worth. Most database designers would advise putting these into a query.

Splitting the database as suggested by the previous respondent, is of course a very necessary step. The only caveat to the suggestion of putting the "front end" on numerous workstations is that it is a bear to maintain. I generally put one front end on the server and let everyone use that. This way, if something goes wrong, or a refinement is needed, it's much easier to do. Of course, if each user has different needs, then you WILL need numerous front ends.

Word provides a complete file management system as part of Word. One of the features of this system is that you can quickly load multiple documents in one easy step. To do this, follow these steps:

Click on the Open tool on the toolbar, or choose Open from the File menu. This displays the Open dialog box.

Instead of double-clicking on a file name, start to create a "selection set." If you are selecting sequential files, click on the first file in the sequence, then hold the SHIFT key as you click on the last. You can add additional files to those selected by holding down the CTRL key while clicking with the mouse.

To remove files from the selection set, hold down the CTRL key while clicking on a file name you previously added to the set.

When you are satisfied with the list, click on Open.

I made a clean install of OS (Win XP Home) and all other programs and now it works again. If anyone know what happened I would like to hear from them.
Thank you

In Excel under the menu DATA, there is a subtotal function.
What you describe sounds pretty much like that.

Good luck.

The easiest way to print labels in Access 2K is to use the Access Label wizard.

1. Create a Select Query to choose your labels. Save your query as qryLabelsForWhatever.
2. Go to forms object and click New; Label Wizard. Be sure to select the above query to base your report on, and your label size (Avery No.).
3. Design and save your report (rptLabelSomeName).
4. Run your report. You can then include a cmdButton in your form to run it automatically.

If you want individual labels:
1. You can either copy and rename the above select query (or create a new one) and put your list of individuals in the criteria grid save and name it.
2. Open your report (rptLabelSomeName) and change the ControlSource to the new name - if you created a new one.
3. Run your report with just the individual names (from the criteria) printing.

The only problem with this is your individual names will always start in row 1 column 1 of your label sheet. I do remember seeing some coding the will allow you to choose what row and column you want to start the printing, but I can't put my eye sight on it right now. It's someplace on my computer. If and when I find it, I will try to post it to you or if you give me your email address, I will send it directly to you. You can email me directly to rraszk@direcway.com.

You can create subprocedures with code similar to the following:

With Selection
.Text = """" & .Text & """"
.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
End With

With Selection
.Text = "(" & .Text & ")"
.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
End With

You could use Record Macro to create the procedures and assign hot keys, then clean up the code if you are comfortable doing so.

How about creating a macro to do each thing? Make sure it is a "global" macro and assign the macro to a keyboard combination, like Alt + )
I would assume that you need to select the text FIRST before trying to create the macro.

Make a blank form and set all of the default properties as you please. You may want to make at least two, one for Master and one for Sub forms.

Save them with a nice name like ZMaster and ZSub.

Now go to Tools:Options:Forms/Reports and make the Z... form the default template for forms. Be careful, make sure to change the default form when you switch from master to sub form creation.

I have the same problem in sending animated gif in outlook. What I can do in extracting the gif from the mail and send it as attachment?
Xp sp2, office 2000.
Thank you for your support

Print an e-mail message and attachment

Select the messages you want to print.
How?

To select adjacent items (item: An item is the basic element that holds information in Outlook (similar to a file in other programs). Items include e-mail messages, appointments, contacts, tasks, journal entries, notes, posted items, and documents.), click the first item, and then hold down SHIFT and click the last item.
To select nonadjacent items, click the first item, and then hold down CTRL and click additional items.
To select all items, click the Edit menu, and then click Select All.
Note Changing the view (view: Views give you different ways to look at the same information in a folder by putting it in different arrangements and formats. There are standard views for each folder. You can also create custom views.) for items can make selecting specific items easier. For instance, if you want to select all messages that have the same subject, in the folder containing the messages, on the View menu, point to Arrange By, and then click Conversation. Select the messages you want from the view.

On the File menu, click Print.
To print attachments, select the Print attached files check box.
Note Attachments will print only to the default printer. For example, if you have printer A set as the default, and you open a message with an attachment and choose to print the e-mail to printer B, the message will be sent to printer B, but the attachment will go to printer A.

Why do you think they gave you a demo of Word?

So that when your demo expired, and Works wouldn't do what you were used to doing, the way you were used to doing it, you would pay to get Word back.

wow, that's a big question. some more info on where you are vs. where you want to be might help.

for instance (excuse me for subbing off your thread): I am a competent SQL guy, currently using M$ Access, and I have come to the point where I think I need to learn some Visual Basic to make my Access database app. do what I want it to do. I have some limited programming experience, but I am an accountant, not a programmer, and I'm too d*** old to change career paths.

Anybody know any reference materials that might help me?

p.s- i have this set up as a 250-point question under Programming in Technical Q&A section
